The Volkswagen ID.4 is a relatively affordable EV and offers competitive range and cargo space. Unfortunately, it doesn't quite match rivals on performance, comfort or interior quality. It's not our top-ranked electric SUV but it's worth a look if you find the price is right.Read full review

Overview

by the Edmunds Experts

10/10/2024

Volkswagen is accelerating its transition to electric vehicles in 2025, introducing the new family-size ID.7 sedan and long-awaited ID. Buzz that recalls the classic Microbus of the 1960s. So, after a light powertrain and technology refresh in 2024, we expect the 2025 ID.4 compact SUV to continue with only minor updates. The ID.4 offers seating for five people and plenty of cargo space for everyday living and road trips. You can save some money by choosing the standard-range battery or upgrade to a long-range battery providing almost 300 miles of driving. Several trim levels and a choice between single-motor rear-wheel-drive and dual-motor all-wheel-drive configurations make it easy to find a VW ID.4 that suits you.

Am I Ready for an EV?

EV ownership works best if you can charge (240V) at home or at work ^{This typically means a 240V home installation, but you could also have a similar setup at your office or other places your car is already parked for several hours each day. Don't expect a regular household outlet (120V) to suffice unless you've got a plug-in hybrid, in which case overnight charging at home is feasible.}
If you can’t charge at home, charging at a charging station could take at least 10x longer than at a gas station ^{With public charging infrastructure still in its infancy, the user experience can be maddeningly inconsistent. Tesla owners tend to rave about the reliability and speed of the company's proprietary Supercharger stations, but rival DC fast options have thus far been plagued by technical issues and overcrowding. It's an evolving landscape and our best advice is to do your research on the available options for the EV you want to buy.}
Adding a 240V home charging system could cost up to $1,600 or more ^{If your existing electrical service can handle the additional demands of EV charging, you may be able to add Level 2 charging at home for less than a grand, including installation. But your costs will multiply if you need to upgrade your electrical panel or add a dedicated circuit.}

Edmunds spotlight: Infotainment improvements

In recent years, Volkswagen has taken a few deserved jabs for its latest family of infotainment systems. However, in ID.4 models equipped with the larger 12.9-inch touchscreen display, VW says it has improved the menus and climate controls while illuminating the touch-sensing volume and temperature controls to enhance the user experience after dark. Note that it helps to subscribe to the Plus Speech add-on to the Car-Net connected services, allowing you to easily control various functions using naturally spoken voice commands.

Competitors to consider

Things are moving fast in the compact EV class, and the ID.4 is now one of the elders of the segment. Rivals include established players like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6 and newcomers including the Chevrolet Equinox EV and Honda Prologue.

What’s it like to live with?

We lived with an 2021 ID.4 for 12 months and almost 15,000 miles when it was first introduced and found it to be surprisingly efficient and easy to drive in the city. We had a lot of trouble with the touchscreen interface, but VW has thankfully made improvements since then. Read about our experience here.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

by the Edmunds Experts

Good

7.8

out of 10

We drove the 2025 Volkswagen ID.4 on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.^{The Edmunds Vehicle Testing Team evaluates a fresh batch of vehicles every week, pairing objective assessments at our test track with real-world driving on city streets, freeways and winding roads. The data we gather results in our Expert Ratings. They’re based on 30-plus scores that cover every aspect of the automotive experience.}

Performance

7.5/10

How does the ID.4 drive? Volkswagen upgraded the ID.4's electric motors for the 2024 model year. At our test track, our test ID.4 Pro S with the single electric motor accelerated from zero to 60 mph in 6.1 seconds. That's a bit quicker than most other rival SUV EVs we've tested with a single motor. Volkswagen says the dual-motor ID.4 should need 4.9 seconds to get to 60 mph, which is also a pretty quick time.

Unfortunately, the ID.4's speedy acceleration isn't backed up by similarly sporty handling. Volkswagen's engineers focused more on comfort than out-and-out handling. As such, EVs such as the Ford Mustang Mach-E or Kia EV6 are more fun to drive overall. The ID.4 provides a decent amount of regenerative braking when you lift off the accelerator but won't bring you to a complete stop without using the brake pedal. In general, this is a smooth EV to drive. The tight turning radius makes for easy parking too. It's just not particularly fun.

Comfort

7.5/10

How comfortable is the ID.4? The ID.4 rides comfortably on the highway, though hitting bigger bumps can cause some noticeable up-and-down motions. That's not to say it's uncomfortable; it just meets the status quo in this class. The front seats are cushy but lack the support and adjustment needed to be truly comfortable on longer drives.

The climate control system works well and is operated mostly through the touchscreen. There are the typical temperature and fan adjustments, and Volkswagen included some special commands such as "warm feet" or "fresh air" that automatically adjust the settings.

Interior

8/10

How’s the interior? The ID.4's interior is a blend of familiar Volkswagen touches with some of the latest in-car tech and driver aids you'll find in this class. The cabin is spacious in both rows, with plenty of headroom and legroom, and the taller ride height makes it easy to get in and out. There's also good visibility in all directions thanks to the big windows.

The ID.4's latest climate system interface is much improved compared to earlier iterations. In particular, the backlit controls for the temperature and volume adjustment make it much easier to adjust settings at night. Unfortunately, the ID.4 still has goofy window controls. Volkswagen only includes two for the driver plus a toggle to switch to control the rear windows. That toggle is annoyingly unresponsive at times. We can't understand how this is in any way better than just using four individual window switches like every other car.

Technology

8/10

How’s the tech? The ID.4's available 12.9-inch center touchscreen is easy to use. The built-in navigation system is also one of the better ones around for overall intuitiveness. The voice controls work well and offer a wide array of commands that include entering addresses in navigation and adjusting the climate control. If you prefer to use your own device, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are available, as are a plethora of USB ports. The sound quality of the ID.4's standard stereo is pretty mediocre, however.

The ID.4 comes standard with a lot of driver aids, including adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assistance and automatic parking. It all worked well in our testing. Competitors like the Model Y and Mach-E offer hands-free driving capabilities, something Volkswagen lacks.

Storage

8.5/10

How’s the storage? The ID.4 features a pretty clever interior, with great storage both in the cabin and in the rear hatch area. The rear cargo area offers a decent 30.3 cubic feet of space, opening up to 64.2 cubic feet when the seats are lowered. That's about on par with rivals as well as gas-powered small crossovers. The 60/40-split rear seat folds flat and even with the cargo floor, though the load floor itself is a bit high. There's even more storage under the load floor, but the ID.4 doesn't offer a front trunk.

Up front, a configurable center console area with removable cupholders and partitions makes for an ultra-flexible front cabin. The door pockets are generously sized too. And the rear seat room makes this the best mainstream EV for car seats, with easy access anchors. This is a very family-friendly EV.

Range and Efficiency

7.5/10

How are the range and efficiency? The latest ID.4 has EPA estimates that range from 206 miles to 291 miles on a full charge. On the Edmunds EV Range Test, the single-motor rear-wheel-drive ID.4 drove 299 miles on a single charge. That's 8 miles better than the EPA estimate and 11 miles more than the previous single-motor ID.4 we tested. All-wheel-drive models have an EPA-estimated range of 263 miles, though we haven't had an opportunity to test one yet. Both EPA and real-world numbers are on par for the class, though some rivals can exceed 300 miles on a single charge.

The EPA further estimates that the single-motor ID.4 uses 30 kWh of electricity for every 100 miles driven. We were right on target for the single-motor in our testing, measuring consumption at 29.8 kWh/100 miles. This is also about average for a small electric SUV.

Value

7.5/10

Is the ID.4 a good value? The ID.4 features a well-designed interior. The upholstery looks and feels nice, and the leather-wrapped steering wheel feels good in your hands. Some of the plastic materials look and feel a bit cheap, however. It's also important to note that the ID.4 is eligible for a full $7,500 tax credit. Many rival EVs don't currently qualify for this credit, at least from a purchase standpoint.

Volkswagen offers a four-year/50,000-mile bumper-to-bumper and powertrain warranty and an eight-year/100,000-mile battery warranty. None of the coverage is particularly noteworthy for this class. The ID.4 also comes with three years of 30-minute complimentary fast charging on the Electrify America network, as well as two years/20,000 miles of free maintenance, though EVs typically require little regular servicing.

Wildcard

7.5/10

The ID.4 is fine to drive but doesn't quite have the same performance potential as the Ford Mustang Mach-E, Kia EV6 or Tesla Model Y. Nor does it turn heads in the same way other EVs will. But we suspect the ID.4's comfort and utility will be more important draws for EV shoppers.

Which ID.4 does Edmunds recommend?

Volkswagen hasn't released official information on the 2025 ID.4 as of this writing. We'll update our recommendation if anything changes, but based on last year's ID.4 we like the Pro trim. It offers a higher-capacity battery and a 12.9-inch touchscreen.

2023 Volkswagen ID.4 Pro S Plus 4dr SUV w/SK On Battery, 170kW DC Fast Charging Capability (electric DD)

I have read the Edmunds review and many EV’s and I drove quite a few, Hybrid’s and EV’s. I decided to purchase the Pro S front drive only ID.4……I would give it a 9.5. It is extremely quick and so fun to drive. It is a solid vehicle and hugs the road like it is glued down. I think if you compare to a $100,000 EV yea there will be a difference in power, but frankly you do not need it. I …

2023 Volkswagen ID.4 AWD Pro S 4dr SUV AWD (electric DD)

Not sure how this compares to Tesla but certainly lower priced than similarly equipped. Software needs work and UI is not intuitive and slightly buggy. Otherwise it's an amazing car and had a great experience driving 500 miles in a day. Charging network is great in California and never felt I would run out of juice.

I have had this car for 6 weeks and my commute driving has been really pleasant. My ID.4 Pro S AWD has all power needed for normal driving. First 1200 miles efficiency is 3.7 miles per kW (3.7 x 77kW usable = 285 miles range). Only 20% highway, and heater not needed much. The heated seats and steering wheel have been just right. The sunroof is excellent with automatic cover that …
